Among these similarities in mode of action is an effect on part of the nervous system, called neurovegetative system, and its links with adrenal glands.
Our nervous systems communicate
To facilitate understanding of anatomy, we mentally separate the nervous system into two parts: the CNS (central nervous system), comprising the brain and spinal cord, and the SNV (neurovegetative system) comprising the nerve fibers which, starting from the spinal cord, will innervate all our structures (muscles, organs, skin, etc.) It is through these neurovegetative fibers that the body will circulate information : an organ will signal its suffering, a torn muscle…
